Many motorists are thinking about purchasing a battery with increased power if the car is operated only in the city. Also, a more capacious battery may be needed when using the car in cold regions. A more confident start of the motor with a larger starting current is possible at very low temperatures. In addition to the above options, a high-capacity battery is needed to provide electric current to the on-board network of powerful passenger cars.

How much does a battery weigh 65 a / h
The larger the battery capacity, the more mass the battery will have. Battery capacity of 65 Ah not charged with electrolyte, weighs about 13 kg. About 80% of this value is lead, which is used to make plates, jumpers, and terminals.
The plastic from which the battery case, separators, plugs and handle are made up by mass of not more than 8%. The rest is electrolyte. After all the cans of the battery are filled with liquid, its weight will increase to 16-17 kg.
Battery Dimensions and Terminal Options
When installing a battery with a capacity of 65 Ah, it is important that the product fits in a regular place. You should also pay attention to the location of the negative terminal relative to the housing. If you purchase a product with the wrong polarity, you will need to significantly increase the length of the negative cable.
The dimensions of the battery of this capacity may vary significantly depending on which vehicles are used. There are two types of housings for standard European cars and one type for Asian cars with ASIA terminal type.
| Terminal type | Long mm | Width mm | Height mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 242 | 175 | 190 |
| ASIA | 230-232 | 175 | 220-225 |
How much electrolyte is in the battery 65 a / h
The electrolyte in the 65 Ah battery weighs approximately 3 to 4 kg. About 600 ml of sulfuric acid solution is poured into each jar. The total volume will be approximately 3.5 liters. Depending on the manufacturer, this value can be either slightly larger or slightly less.
Therefore, if you need to refuel a new battery, it is much more practical to purchase a five-liter canister with electrolyte. It is not necessary to pour out the residuals; in case of a decrease in the liquid level, it will always be possible to add.
How to charge the battery 65 a / h
The value of the current during charging should not exceed 10% of its nominal capacity. That is, it will take 10 hours to apply current to the terminals with a current of up to 6.5 Amps, for example, you can set 6 A.
The amount of charging current depends on how quickly it takes to charge the battery. For express replenishment of the capacity, a voltage of 14.8 V and a current of about 10 Amps can be applied to the terminals. If the battery has not been discharged to "0", then in this way you can restore its performance within 2 to 3 hours.
Using this method, overheating of the battery is possible and, as a result, a decrease in the product's life and active boiling of the electrolyte.
For which cars is the battery 65 a / h suitable
6ST-65 batteries are used as starter batteries for passenger cars. Mostly, such products are used for installation on cars with an average configuration, namely:
- Gasoline carburetor engines - 1.8-2.5 liters;
- Gasoline injection engines - 2.5-3 liters;
- Diesel engines - 1.5-2 liters;
If the car is equipped with a start-stop system, then you need to choose a battery made by technology Agm, GEL or Efb.
They can also be used as traction devices in various installations, as well as used as a source of electricity for outboard motors of small power.
Which battery 65 a / h to choose and what to look for
65 Ah car batteries can vary significantly in price. Many owners of modern cars prefer to install batteries of such capacity, made using calcium technology. Such products do not require maintenance, can be stored for a long time without recharging, while the price of the devices is only 1.5 - 2 times higher than ordinary antimony batteries. The most popular manufacturers of such batteries are:
When choosing a battery from any manufacturer, be sure to pay attention to the date of manufacture of the battery. If you buy stale goods, then the product will not last long, and during operation it will not give maximum capacity and discharge current indicators.

Vladimir city of Orsha.
The battery put a larger capacity, because the old one could not cope with a powerful audio system. We also had to replace the generator and control unit for more efficient battery charging.
Novel. Asbest city.
I decided to buy a battery with a capacity of 65 Ah and a voltage of 12 volts, so that the car could be easily started in the winter.

If the sizes are suitable, then it is better to purchase 65 Ah / instead of 60. Such a battery turns the starter much better at any time of the year.
